Anterior Sagittal Approach and Total Urogenital Mobilization for the Treatment of Persistent Urogenital Sinus in a 2-Year-Old Girl
نویسندگان
چکیده
Persistent urogenital sinus (UGS) is a developmental anomaly. It represents one of the most complex problems that a pediatric surgeon may deal with. We report the case of a patient with UGS treated at 3 years of age by anterior sagittal transrectal approach and en bloc sinus mobilization. The procedure was performed with the patient prone with the initial idea of performing an anterior sagittal transrectal approach. The described approach allows an excellent anatomical view with a midline muscle sparing incision, along with an easy identification of the vaginal confluence with the benefit of avoiding dissection between the urethra and vagina.

Surgical treatment of high urogenital sinuses using the anterior sagittal transrectal approach: a useful strategy to optimize exposure and outcomes.
PURPOSE Surgical management of the high urogenital sinus remains challenging. The anterior sagittal transrectal approach provides optimal exposure, facilitates vaginal dissection and separation from the urethra, and allows reconstruction of the bladder neck musculature. In this study we report our initial experience with this technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective revie...

متن کاملUse of the mobilized sinus with total urogenital mobilization.
PURPOSE The surgical treatment of urogenital sinus anomalies has undergone significant advances in recent years. Total urogenital mobilization, which mobilizes the urogenital sinus, vagina and urethra en bloc toward the perineum, represents one of these advances. MATERIALS AND METHODS We have improved our results with total urogenital mobilization by incorporating the mobilized urogenital sin...

PURPOSE Total and partial urogenital mobilization procedures are the most common contemporary vaginoplasty surgeries for patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, urogenital sinus and cloacal anomalies. There is controversy regarding the urinary continence outcomes of these procedures. We reviewed the urinary continence outcomes of children who underwent total or partial urogenital mobiliza...

Adrenogenital syndrome, or so called congenital adrenal hyperplasia, is caused by a congenital insufficiency of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase, which is responsible for converting cortisol into cholesterol. Because of virilizing effect of androgens overproduction girls develop clitoral hypertrophy and persistent urogenital sinus (common channel for urethra and vagina). Surgical treatment is recommen...
